This is the all-new 2023 Sportage and its gained some distance from its subcompact-sized Seltos sibling, growing by over 7” in length and now boasting class-leading rear legroom and cargo capacity. Applying the “Kia for everyone” approach that has recently worked so well for the brand, the Sportage is available in 4 regular trims, an X-Line model sporting an off-road appearance and perhaps the most exciting news, 2 X-Pro trims truly capable of trail adventures with B.F. Goodrich all-terrain tires, 17” off-road wheels and various drive modes – though curiously – not one labeled off-road – just Normal, Sport, Smart and Snow. Both X-Line and X-Pro come standard with all-wheel drive providing 1.5” of additional ground clearance as compared with the outgoing model.
